"That Flemons and Simpson can rework and revive the tensions and turmoils that fester in blues and folk music is the deepest tribute a musician can pay to their forebears, as well as the only way to bring those ghosts back to life".

"This transatlantic collaboration (...) was originally commisioned in 2014 by the English Folk Dance & Song Society to explore the connections between English and African-American musical traditions. It's one of those ideas that always looks good on a funding application, but doesn't necessarily guarantee a succesfully empathitic artistic outcome. Thankfully, this particular pairing proved a winner from the get-go ... Simpson has, of course, long been an admirer and exponent of the kind of vintage Americana that is Flemons stock-in-trade as "The American Songster" ... The musicianship is (...) exemplary, with each performer supporting and enhancing each other's songs - Simpson with guitar and banjo, Flemons with those plus bones, quills and harmonicas ... There's a real sense of joy taken in each other's company and contrasting performance styles".
